Williams had been charged with first-degree assault, two counts of second-degree robbery, one count of first-degree robbery and possession of stolen property. Harley was charged with robbery and criminal possession of a weapon.

Fitzpatrick said the two men were not initially charged with attempted murder because that charge requires prosecutors to prove intent, and an assault conviction can carry the same length of prison time. The charges were later upgraded during the investigation, he said.

Williams and Harley have been accused of robbing and shooting Christian Brothers Academy baseball coach Tom Dotterer on Jan. 23 while he ran his liquor store on North Salina Street.
